<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hello
Not a slot topic but my very first RTA in 29 years of motor-biking. Some young "lady" drove out of her drive just 30 feet in front of me and claimed she didn't see me. I braked as hard as I could but couldn't avoid hitting her off-side front wing, falling back and off to the left.
By this stage I've got up, heaved the bike, a Triumph Trophy 900, back up onto its side stand and noted the buckled front wheel and damaged brand new Pirelli Diablo Strada front tyre. I'm just about to ring my wife and inform her I'm going to be late for the dinner party she has organised!!
She may well look in dispair but it was nothing compared to my annoyance
. I did manage to keep my cool. I was actually going quite slow and fortunately wasn't particularly hurt. Rafferty Newmans has assessed the damage to the bike as £3000 worth even though the picture seems to reflect otherwise. Well I was thinking of of changing it.

She looks quite nice - i like her............. number plate. When i looked at the picture, i saw the items in the bottom right corner 'OH MY GOD HIS HAND HAS FALLEN OFF!!!!'
